I kept replaying the events of last night in my head. And every time I kept getting stuck on Azula killing someone. I'd only caught the last few moments so I couldn't exactly say it was in self defense or not.

Her injuries were bad but not to severe, or so the doctor had said when we'd rushed her to the hosptial. Now she was sound asleep in the hosptial bed while I waited for her to wake up. Ty lee had been stopping by to see how we were holding up but she'd left a few minutes ago saying that she had to help clean up the mess.

But that wasn't the only thing that was bothering me. For the last few mintues I've been seeing police officers rushing all over the city from the window. I couldn't help but worry that either there would be more attacks or she'd be blamed for all this.

Although I can't say for sure how it all started since I was knocked out in a basement. We're going to have a long chat about that when she wakes up.

As I sat there I began to think about what to do next. I'd only left her side once and that was to see of bad the damage to my loft was, and to my horror I found that it was worse than I imganied. The entire area had turned into nothing more than a blackend ash covered mess, my clothes were cinders, my walls were black and cracking and everything else I couldn't even began to describe.

I guess for the time being we could stay with Ty lee, I really don't think she'd mind seeing as I have nowhere else to go. I didn't let myself become to worried about the fact that I'd lost everything I owned or the fact that I whitnessed a murder or the fact that my girlfried was in a hosptial and hadn't woken up yet.

" I know it's a bad idea to tempt fate but I can't see how things could get any worse."

"Well for one I could be out of painkillers." My eyes widened as Azula tried to sit up before leaning back down. "How long have I been out?"

"About nine hours or so. The doctor said that you just suffered some burns and a grazed shoulder. You should be released today but you need to take it easy." And I was going to make sure she did even if I had to chain her to the bed.

Not a bad idea once she's fully healed.

"Katara I want to say I'm sorry for" she never finsihed as I slapped her across the face. For a few moments she looked completly suprised.

"Don't you ever try anything like that again! Understand?"

"Yes"

"Good, now you were saying something." She hesitated probably thinking I was going to slap her again and I wasn't about to lie and say I wasn't thinking about it"Well I was saying how sorry I was, I know we talked about this but as soon as I heard that a bomb had gone off at your loft I knew this would only be the beginning. So I had to act before my father could plan something else."

A question was nagging in the back of my mind but I didn't know If I wanted an answer to it, or even if I'd be able to handel it.

"So I rushed his strongheld and when I got there I demanded a duel between him and I. But being the coward that he was he sent Zhao in his place. Zhao might be a capable firebeder but he can barely bend without burning the place to the ground. The moment he started relaizing that his attacks were doing more harm then good he pulled out a gun and shot at me."

"And then?"

"The moment he pulled a gun into the duel all rules were off, everyone charged everyone and my father tried to escape through the exit. I followed after him bent on finishing things once and for all."

I could only imagine what she must have been thinking during all this. But why do I fell like a piece is missing? I already know how it ended.

"But you need to kill him?" I hadn't ment to ask. "You don't have to tell me."

"No but I want to" there was look of regret in her eye " Our fight didn't last long. He'd always boasted about how strong he was but in reality his skill was barely above avarage. He overextened himself and I had him beaten, I told him if he came after you again he'd regret it. I was walking away when he shot lighting at me. You know what happaned next."

It was silent for a long time as we both proccess what she just said. "Katara I probably already have the answer but have you been here the entire time I have?"

"Yes."

"Have you at least eaten anything?"

"Of course I have" And she probably would have belived me if my stomach hadn't startled growled. "Look Katara I'm not going anywhere for the time being so go down to the caftaria and get you something to eat okay."

If I wasn't so hungry I would at least try and argue with her. "Fine but I'll only be a few minutes." As I left I felt a horrible feeling growing in the pit of my stomach. A feeling that only got worse the farther I got from her.

As I grabbed a salad and some tea to calm my nerves my phone went off. "Yes?"

"Katara finally I got ahold of you. Listen It may already be to late but I just got word that."

"Katara!" my blood went cold as I recognized the voice that was quickly rushing toward me.

Why him? Why now?

Before I had time to do anything he was already hugging me. When he tried to go for a kiss I broke free.

"Aang what the hell are you doing here? I thought you were at one of the air temples for the next six months."

"Well I was but then I got word about all the crime going on in the city and got worried. At first I tried mediating and hopeing that it was just a small temporary thing but when that didn't work I tried calling but you didn't pick up. Then I got word that our house exploded so called everyone I could think up to get all the details."

He was very panicked. His robes look dishelved and he had bags under his eyes. He's probably been worrying sick about me. No doubt he rushed here to try and see how I was doing.

"So I rushed back here and after asking everyone where you where I finally got word that you were at the hospital. Did something happan, are you hurt?"

"No I'm fine really I just came her to..." Crap what do I tell him? I can't tell him about Azula so

"... I'm here to check up on a friend of mine. She and I were pretty close back in the day and she recently moved here so we've been hanging out. But yesterday she got caught him in a accident and was sent here."

I really didn't want to tell him the truth at least not yet, but at least this way I won't feel guilty about lying to him. "Well that's good what's her name?"

"Azula and in fact I really should be getting back to her."

"I'll come with you. After all any friend of yours is a friend of mine."

As we started back to her room he tried to hold my hand but I kept pulling back. One thought kept bounching around inside my head. This is not going to end well.

Azula was sitting up when we entered the room. As soon as she noticed Aang her eyes widened with a mixture of shock, rage, confusion and a little bit of beteral. Luckily as he was in front of me he didn't see when I tried to explain why he was here through series of gestures.

"Hello Azula my name's Aang, Katara tells me that you got into a bit of an accident." he extened his hand and after a moment where I thought she was going to punch him she eventually shook it.

"Yeah but it's noting serious, in fact I'm just about to be released."

"Well that's good to hear. I've just come back to the city because I heard about everything that's been going on but it's good to see that Katara has good friends during these times."

If I had to describe this moment it would be like a mouse walking straight into a snake's den thinking it's safe.

"Oh Aang I hate to ask this but could you go and find my doctor he's just down the hall. He has my release papers but he's taking a rather long time."

"Sure I'll be right back." the moment he left the room Azula exploded.

"What the hell is he doing here!"

"He got worried and rushed back. I should have known he'd do somthing like this."

"Katara I know this isn't the best time but if you won't tell him I will."

"What?" This was exactly the kind of situation I didn't want to handle right now. I knew that it would come down to this eventually but I thought I'd have at least a few months to try and find a way to handel it.

"I saw the way he was looking at you. I know I've said this before but I love you Katara."

"I know and I love you to." she smiled as she leaned in, Imet her half way for the kiss. I know it sounds silly but the moment our lips met everything just felt so right. I loved her, I wanted her but at the same time my I boyfriend or I guess ex boyfriend was just down the hall.

" I know you don't want to hurt him but I'm not going to let you go just because he's here. We both knew that he would find out eventually but don't worry I'll make it quick."

I could only nod as the doctor came into the room. "Alight you lady now I want you to take it easy for the next few days so your body can heal."

He handed her the papers and within a few minutes we were on our way out.

"So Azula I'd love to get to know you more but right now Katara and I have to find someplace to live for the time being. It seems like our home was kind of destroyed."

He started to reach for my hands when Azula smacked it away. "Actually you don't have to worry about Katara anymore."

"And why is that?"

"Because she's not your girlfriend anymore she's mine. I claimed her heart long ago but I must think you for taking care of her all this time. But know this Aang, I love her and I'm not about to loose her again."

His face contoretd into one of confusion then suprisingly anger. He turned to me his eyes blazing. "Katara what does she mean?!"

"Look Aang I wanted to tell you this when I found a good way to explain things."

"Explain how you been cheating on me!"

"Yes I cheated on you and I'm sorry for that but I can't change the way I feel about her. She may have her faults but she makes me happy, happier then I've felt for a long time. Don't try and make me choose because you won't like my answer. I'll give you a full explantion later but I just can't do this right now."

So I walked away with Azula right behind me. Aang just stood there starring as we walked off. Within minutes I felt tears roll down my face as my guilt rose to the surface.

But wasn't the worst part of my day. No that happaned just minutes later when a cop car pulled up beside us and to officers pulled out.

" Azula blaze we have some questions that we want you to answer down at the station."

As they pulled out the cuffs I made a decision. I'm not about to see her go to prison again. Not if I can help it.

"Officers I assume you have a warrent for my clients arrest?"

They looked to one another obsivully not expecting this. "Well no but..."

"Then untill then my client won't be saying a word and untill then if you wish to contact her you'll have to go through me first." My heart was racing as I gave them my number.

"Now gentelmen unless you have something to stop us we'll be taking our leave."
